Double Eyelid Removal Surgery: Delicate Dissection Is Important!

What do actors like Park Seo-joon, Choi Woo-shik, Park Bo-gum, Kim Go-eun, and Park So-dam have in common? Yes, that’s right. They all have single eyelids, the so-called “Joseon eyes,” with no double eyelids.

Eyes without double eyelids.

In the Joseon Dynasty, when double-eyelid surgery did not exist, eyes with double eyelids may have looked bigger and prettier. Considering how many people have had double-eyelid surgery until recently, single-eyelid eyes can stand out even more. In any case, it is clear that single-eyelid “Joseon eyes” have their own distinct appeal.

There are many attractive eyes without double eyelids, and some people who had successful double-eyelid surgery and suit double eyelids well also admire this look and choose to remove their double eyelids. If your double-eyelid surgery went badly, leaving uneven folds, if your eyes look more sleepy after surgery, or if you have so-called sausage-shaped double eyelids, you may feel a strong desire to remove them right away.

Does such a surgery exist?

Most people only know about double-eyelid surgery and do not realize that double eyelids can also be removed, so they may ask whether such a surgery even exists. They tend to think that once surgery is performed on the face, it cannot be reversed through restoration or reconstruction. But one thing is clear: plastic surgery techniques have continued to advance, and eventually double eyelid removal surgery, the reverse procedure of double-eyelid surgery, was developed. Any kind of double eyelid can be removed, whether it is an inborn double eyelid, a naturally developed double eyelid that formed over time, a double eyelid made with eyelid tape or glue, or a surgically created double eyelid.

However, double eyelid removal surgery is only possible through an incision; a non-incisional method is not possible. This is because, whether the double eyelid is inborn or surgically created, the adhesions and tissue that formed the double eyelid must be released surgically, which requires an incision. That does not mean a noticeable scar will remain like after double-eyelid surgery, so there is no need to worry about scarring. Because the incision is made right above the eyelashes, any scar that remains will not be conspicuous. Also, when releasing the double-eyelid tissue after the incision, if the dissection goes even slightly off, the entire eyelid-opening muscle can be cut, so successful removal requires extremely focused and delicate dissection. The key to double eyelid removal surgery is delicate dissection.
